I need advice from the ladies with hormone disorders. I have PCOS and I’m struggling with my weight and low libido. I just turned 25, my body is changing, and my hormones are off. I don’t desire sex as much as I used to and it’s effecting my relationship

about libido i always had a naturally low libido until i got with someone who made sex feel like a fun bonding activity, almost like a game more than just a physical drive. like adding a lot more foreplay, kinks, dirty talk, and just experimenting finding each others weak spots. it made it feel more like fun to me than a certain way i had to feel

How have you guys ever experienced these struggles? And how did you deal with them? How do I increase my libido?

They put me on Metformin for my weight control and insulin resistance and it helped with majority of my problems. I also started doing cardio 3-4x a week, completely changed my diet and fasting. It sounds insane but it was the only thing that worked to help me get my body back when I felt hopeless.

The thing is I used to have high libido. My bf is the only person that made me understand what true sex and pleasure feels like. And we used have sex often, but since I gained more weight and feeling more self conscious about my body, and whatever my hormones are doing, it’s just naturally has been going down.

I still enjoy sex, but I don’t initiate as much. In result, it makes my bf think I don’t find him as attractive anymore. Which is definitely not the case. I don’t find myself attractive and I don’t desire or have the drive to initiate sex or even pleasure myself as much.

But I think the trying new things to make it feel more fresh and new is a good idea

Thank you for your input. I try to avoid taking medication (beside birth control), just because I don’t want to deal with the potential side effects from them. But it’s nice to know that your regimens genuinely help with your symptoms. I need to lock in and get active again
